What's the point of making it secret though? It adds no excitement to the story. Plenty of people in Salem already know about these two already.

Because they realize that once this couple is together they are boring as hell and they need to give them any kind of boost they can.

LOL. Based on all the other times they've been together? Which has been never.

I like the idea of Ejami having a secret relationship, so long as they have a reasonable explanation as to why they decide to do it, because sneaking around is naughty. And naughty is good.

Is it naughty or is Sami just ashamed of sleeping with EJ? This is what she told Brady about keeping his affair with Kristen a secret, "Brady, if you were so sure that what you were doing wasn't terribly wrong, then you have to ask yourself why you didn't want anyone else to know".

Exactly!Sami is going to wake up and realize (as she does after rolling around with EJ) that she has made a dreadful mistake. Of course she won't want it known.

And sounds like Ej is ashamed too. I mean, seriously, wouldn't you be? He is sleeping with a woman who has never chosen him without being mad at the men she really loves? He knows it--and keeps going back for more leftovers?? Stupid boy.
